Poncn and it's Bridge.

Ponca Journal, II: The rumor that
the Milwaukee road was to cross into
Nebraska by the way Of Ponca, seems to
be we'll founded. The Milwaukee road.
as we are informed by gentleman in
the employment Of that company, has
determined to make Elk Point the end
of division, and with shops, ETC.,
located there. This accounts for the
large tract Of land recently purchased
by the company adjacent to that city.
The preliminary survey already made
from Elk Point to the river opposite
Lime Kiln ravine, will within few days
be followed by line of grade.stakes,
etc., and large force Of graders. The
future. and the very near future, will
disclose some surprising developments
and booms for this part of the country.

The Coming Has:asek rriai.

Sioux City, Ia, March 17--As the time
approaches for the Haddock murder
cases the interest gathers and much
speculation is expressed. The decision
of the prosecution to put Arensdorf on
trial first is.regarded generally as an evi-
dence that the stats::-- in possession OF
testimony upon which they rely to CON.
vict Arensdorf Of the crime charged
against him without first trying Che
other conapirators and gathering chain
of evidince to convict him. In other
words il is believed more generally to.
day than ever before that the prosecution
have very strong case and that the
defense is weakening. Your correspon-
dent oonversed with one of the states
attorneys to-day and is satisfied that the
state will produce witnesses to the
shooting not yet known to the public
that will clearly place the guilt on Ar
ensdorf. 1t is not known what course
the defense will take, but there is some
likelihood OF their endeavoring to secure
Q further postponement ON technicalities.
Many OF those who have given careful
attention to the case from the hrst be-
lieve that the defense will, in the end,
set up plea of self.deiense for Arens.
.dorf. Information is at hand to the
effect that George Treiber has arranged
TO be present at the triaii and tsestify, and
further that he has turned states evil
dence and will be granted executive
ciemency. Attorney Wood is said to
have secured this witness, and Editor
Stone, of the Chicago News, has
guars nteed immunity. That Treiber is
one OF the most important witnesses is
NOT denied by any, but it has been hege-
tofore supposed that he would appear on
tho trial ass witness for the defense.
Judge Lewis to-day instructed Sheriff
Mcdonald to Subpoena seventy jurymen
from the county outside this township
from which to draw jury to try the
Haddock case. The regularly drawn
petit jury WAS waived by agreement ol
both prosecution and defense.

Ts tne Voters of Yankton.
The undersigned. acting under in-
frem the citizens committee.
submit to the electors of Yankton the
following statement of the reasons which
induced the nomination of the ticket
now before the public:
There has been for some time very
generally expressed feeling that in the
election of municipal officers party lines
ought not to be drawn, and this feel
ing has been increased and intensified
by the evident lad results, in some
recent cases, produced by adhering to
the practice complained of. 1t is be-
lieved that intelligent men of all parties
are unanimous in the opinion that char
acter, ability, and general fitness, and
not party predictions, should deter
mine the selection of officers to admin
lister our local affairs. Manifestly there
is need, at all times, in the conduct Of
city affairs. of integrity, prudence,
sagacity and enterprise, qualities which
ara not insured IN the individual
aspirant for Office, by the fact
that he has large political following.
These considerations are especially for
cible at this time, when our city gov
ernment is liable to be called upon to
deal with questions Of great commercial
Importance to us all. At such time we
can not afford to assume any risk that
the important interests of this communi.
ty may be committed to hands that are
either feeble or untrustworthy.
Acting upon these reasons. an honest
effort has been made to avoid that risk
by putting in nomination o ticket, in
support of which all can unite, and
which carries upon its face the assurance
Of wise snd public spirited administra,
ton of public affairs in the ensuing
year.
